@puniko there we go i have a thimgy to bother me if it goes down again https://uptime.stelle.tela.moe/status/stelle

@puniko i found out when i tried to make a user for the uptime machine and then found out i already had a user and data folder named uptimebot

@puniko hmm, i think its been awhile since i last touched this uptime installation

@puniko i suppose i probably should setup some kind of uptime monitoring

i hadn't until now since i have everything on the same server and network or server issues would take the uptime page down too but i suppose it'd still be useful for them sorts of software failures

@puniko eh? apparently i already downloaded uptime kuma and never fully set it up? i do not remember doing this

okay oops, apparently https://fedimoji.tela.moe has been offline for who knows how long

(I'm guessing it probably happened when i restarted the server a week or so ago, and since I'm not so active on fedi anymore i didn't notice until now)

anyway it's back up now

@waifu@mai.waifuism.life tempted to try drawing a pleroma-tan myself, though idk if i'll actually be able to finish something in time

@waifu@mai.waifuism.life i'm a weeeeee bit late i ran out of steam a couple times and wound up rushing it a lot, its not as refined as i'd like, but i done it, i drew a pleroma-tan

but wait, who's the other one? well (as you might guess from the icon) its a design for an akkoma-tan i come up with awhile ago that never really got much attention, and i took this as an excuse to draw them again (coincidentally its also not far from the their birthday as well, though a couple weeks late)

@waifu@mai.waifuism.life separate images, since my combined composition was a little messy

@puniko idk thats not my problem i'm just the delivery bot :blobcatcomfyuwu:

repo's your fedi meta

okay thats enough browsing fedi the funny way

@puniko gonna have to poke the puni awake

you know what they say, better never than late

what do you mean thats not what they say

@mia@movsw.0x0.st @shibao@misskey.bubbletea.dev the fact that nvidia, amd, and intel, all have their own separate slightly janky and entirely incompatible toolchains for gpu compute is so annoying, i really wish there was a common standard that was as well supported as vulkan or something

especially with amd seemingly deciding which cards they wanna have support ROCm on with a dart board (its almost like they don't actually want to break apart the cuda monopoly or something)

@mia@movsw.0x0.st @shibao@misskey.bubbletea.dev as much as i don't like nvidia, at least with nvidia cuda works on pretty much any nvidia card thats still in driver support, you might not get newer fancy features/optimizations on older cards, and applications may or may not work depending on how old the card is (i'd know i tried to make pytorch work on a 780ti once) but cuda itself will be there

nvidia at least doesn't do the amd thing of only supporting ROCm for the high end of the current generation and nothing else and just randomly dropping support for cards whenever they feel like it

(like, i have a 6650xt and it basically only works with rocm because functionally its similar enough to the 6000 series cards that were supported that it'll work with an env override, except it seems amd is quietly dropping ROCm support for the 6000 series in general now too (despite the 6000 series still being recent... that'd be like nvidia dropping support for cuda on the 3080 its kinda absurd)

i recently tried to make a thing work and ran into a library that supported rocm but didn't have any builds for the 6000 rx series (i didn't think supporting the currently only previous generation is that much of a stretch but okay) and i would have had to compile it myself, but then all of my attempts to compile it myself ended in suffering and failure too)


honestly congrats to AMD for having a gpu compute toolchain annoying enough to make me legitimately consider the possibility of getting an nvidia card down the line just to save myself some hair pulling as support for the 6000 series gets quietly dropped from rocm

@robodelta@a.tela.moe well which one are you @puniko ?
